We are a small business comprised of a trained herbalist, and a certified mushroom forager and cultivator.

Proudly providing folk method slow process extracts from the foothills of Western North Carolina for the last 7 years.
Happy Hericiums. Like all of my pictures on here, these are a cultigen that I have developed from from a wild specimen that I have developed through cloning, fruiting, multi spore isolations etc.

So much work has gone into this to get to this point and I am constantly excited and inspired for more

The Lion’s Mane from my last couple posts have produced better than I could have ever expected with wack block producing 3 or more lbs of perfect dense fruits.

I’ll have them available today at Hub City Farmers Market in Spartanburg SC while supplies last.

Really happy with the way this particular Hericium erinaceus isolation is performing with the top fruiting method. I collected the wild specimen last fall and have been working with it and a few other distinct genetics ever since.

Some of my wild WNC genetic lines of Hericeum fruiting in the tent this morning.

Developing unique phenotypes to bring our customers a unique culinary experience is a joy of ours.

A beautiful flush of Apioperdon pyriforme fruiting among debris left in the wake of #helene #WNC

A beautiful Laetiporus that I found shortly before Helene wreaked havoc on WNC.

This is a lovely Hericeum fruited from wild genetics I’ve been working for a while now. Very happy with this cultigen.
